The chemical nickel process for precision, protection and function<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The chemical nickel process is the ideal solution for components with high requirements in terms of corrosion protection, abrasion resistance and dimensional accuracy. The external current-free deposition process produces an absolutely level coating \u2013 even on complex geometries, drill holes and internal contours.
Whether aluminium, brass or iron: with layer thicknesses of 8 to 50 \u00b5m, we specifically improve the technical properties of your workpieces \u2013 for durable, resilient and functional surfaces.
Depending on the phosphorus content, we offer solutions with magnetic or non-magnetic properties, high hardness or excellent chemical resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highest performance for aluminium, iron and brass<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aluminium, brass and iron are essential in industrial manufacturing \u2013 each material has specific advantages, but also disadvantages when it comes to corrosion protection, wear resistance or chemical resistance. With our Nidega\u00ae chem SeqFlow chemical nickel process, we refine these metals specifically for demanding applications \u2013 reliably, precisely and economically.
Whether abrasion-resistant and high in hardness, non-magnetic or highly chemically resistant, we offer two specialised coating solutions that are optimally tailored to different material requirements and operating conditions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Functionality begins with precision in aluminium pre-treatment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Careful pre-treatment is essential for a strong and even chemical nickel coating. Our multi-stage process combines mechanical and chemical cleaning steps with specially tailored activation of the base material. This reliably removes impurities, oxide layers and burrs and prepares the surface specifically for nickel deposition.

Following pre-treatment, a mid-P nickel-phosphorus layer (9% P) is deposited without current \u2013 evenly, with few pores and excellent adhesion, even on complex geometries.
Our layer structure ensures long-lasting functionality and high-quality surfaces on aluminium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
